Watching regluar tv(non stretched) on widescreen will look like what?

i am in the market for a new lcd tv, but am not sure what size to buy. i currently have a 27 inch tube tv in the living room, and a 20 inch tube tv in the bedroom. what size widescreen lcd tv do i have to buy to get the same size image when watching regular tv? i don't want to stretch the image, i want to watch regular tv in the normal 4:3 ratio. also i would appreciate comparisons with other sizes as well, i am considering anything from a 26 to a 42 incs lcd. thanks in advance.

Reply:Normal 4:3 TV would be in the centre of the screen with black vertical bars on either side.





Nearly all TVs these days are wide-screen, certainly all HD TVs. If you want a 4:3 TV then you will probably need to look either an older CRT TV or a computer monitor (ugh).





The size deoesn't make any difference, 26, 37, 42, it's all widescreen, just a smaller set or a bigger set.

tooth and nail
